UsingEnglish Text Analyser is a free web tool for examining text statistics, word patterns, and readability. The standard analyser counts words, different words, paragraphs, sentences, characters, and syllables, and reports hard-word and long-word measures plus the Gunning Fog Readability Index. It groups words by length with graphs and a frequency table, and produces a word cloud that scales terms by frequency while omitting very common words. The standard version handles up to 10,000 characters. The advanced analyser is also free, requires registration, accepts up to 100,000 characters, and can save up to 20 texts. Its tools include a sortable word-frequency list, word-length breakdown, graded text analysis, common-phrase analysis, and additional readability scores. Graded analysis compares vocabulary against the British National Corpus or General Service List, which can help when selecting vocabulary for learners. The standard analyser is described as suitable for students, translators, writers, and others who want to study text statistically.
